By default all of our customers are setup on a Godaddy webmail. Godaddy offers a very robust webmail system which is easy to use and is free (included by Godaddy) as part of it’s domain service which we use. However for sports handicapping sites, it does have its drawbacks: 1. You may not be getting all your emails. 2. You are not getting your emails sent.

First of all Godaddy does the following:

– Implements a very stringent spam filtering system for outgoing emails. All outgoing emails are sent through what is know as a SMTP server. The filter has a bias against sites that have a sports handicapping theme thus it is very difficult to send emails out and receive emails. We have experienced a lot of problems with this and have seen up to 50% of our clients affected by this.

Here’s the solution:

– Setup a free gmail account and use their smtp server. You can still use your domain name. For example if your website is www.sportshandicapper.com and your email is admin@sportshandicapper.com you can still use this email address. The only difference is instead of using Godaddy you can use gmail as the email client software.

Our partners, www.SportsEmailServer.com, are offering exclusively to current Ezcapper customers a one-time only promotion for first time users to try the service:

A one-time free email blast to 5000 qualified prospects for free. The regular price is $99 for 5000 users but for EZCapper customers this will be offered for free

This is only for clients that have never used the service before. The client will need to provide the email in both an HTML and text format. This must be professionally laid out as they will not accept copy that is not properly formatted. If assistance is required, a fee will be charged for converting and designing an email.

Previous clients have generated strong results from the previous email promotions and most customers have come back to either setup their own email servers or continue using their full-service email delivery services.

If you have already used SportsEmailServer previously and want to use it again, all EZCapper customers qualify for a 15% discount on any advertised package on the website. For details see http://sportsemailserver.com/pricing/
